Okay so i've updated a new photo in the 1st post. You will see that I haven't finished the flooring off yet, there is a drainage trench which runs along the outside edge and meets up with a storm water pipe. the plan is that weed matting will be laid down followed by a short length of socked agriculture piping which will be fitted to the storm water pipe by way of a drilled saddle mount. The trench will then be filled by course gravel (the weed matting will cover the entire floor area 1st). The gravel will be extended out across the entire floor cover.

The water system is already completed however when i finish off my income tax return i'm planning of adding a fertiliser injector as well. At present the irrigation system is controlled by an automated timer and to keep it simple is battery operated.

The shade cloth is 64-70% which to some may seem high, but remember no walls. By the way there are 28 hanging plants under there at present.

You're too kind. The fence line you see is my handy work as well. I really enjoy knocking things up. It's a rewarding feeling when.

Thanks nik, I think I can realistically get about 85 to 100 hanging vanda in there.
